zione nell’ambito di alcuni prodotti finiti<br />
e semilavorati, oltre alla fornitura del polimero<br />
ad alte prestazioni. La tecnologia<br />
m-pipe ® è destinata a ridurre i costi derivanti<br />
dall’esplorazione e dalla produzione<br />
nonché i rischi connessi alle applicazioni<br />

L’importanza di sostituire<br />
i metalli nei tubi sotto<strong>mar</strong>ini<br />
L’incremento dei severi requisiti operativi<br />
a grandi profondità, in presenza di<br />
sostanze acide e a temperature e pressioni<br />
sempre più alte, hanno reso la sostituzione<br />
dei metalli per le tubazioni<br />
sotto<strong>mar</strong>ine una priorità urgente per<br />
il comparto oil & gas. “La nostra relazione<br />
strategica con la società Magma<br />
Global faciliterà ulteriormente il percorso<br />
dell’industria verso una nuova era di<br />
potenzialità, associata a una riduzione<br />
di costi nell’operatività sotto<strong>mar</strong>ina<br />
estrema”, ha commentato James Simmonite,<br />
Energy director alla Victrex.<br />
“Il mercato dell’energia rimane estremamente<br />
difficile, ma l’applicazione di<br />
m-pipe ® in aree dove sia possibile ottenere<br />
risparmi tramite progetti sempli-<br />

Composite Pipes for Subsea Oil & Gas<br />
Victrex recently invested in a share interest in Magma to<br />
further facilitate the adoption of its m-pipe ® for subsea<br />
applications. The investment is in line with Victrex’s<br />
strategy to create future value through innovation and<br />
further differentiation into selected semi-finished and<br />
finished products, in addition to supplying the core high<br />
performance polymer.<br />
Victrex plc (Victrex) and Magma<br />
Global Ltd. (Magma) are continuing<br />
to build their strategic partnership<br />
targeted at the oil and gas industry.<br />
Following the joint development of Magma<br />
carbon composite m-pipe ® utilising<br />
VICTREX PEEK, Victrex recently invested<br />
in a minority interest in Magma to further<br />
facilitate the adoption of its m-pipe ®<br />
for subsea applications. The investment<br />
is in line with Victrex’s strategy to create<br />
future value through innovation and further<br />
differentiation into selected semi-finished<br />
and finished products, in addition<br />
to supplying the core high performance<br />
polymer.<br />
The innovative m-pipe ® technology is expected<br />
to reduce exploration and produc-<br />
tion costs and risks for demanding subsea<br />
applications.<br />
Metal replacement for<br />
subsea piping is a priority<br />
Increasingly stringent demands for operations<br />
at greater depths, with sour service<br />
demands, and under higher pressures and<br />
temperatures, have made a metal replacement<br />
for subsea piping an urgent priority for<br />
the oil and gas industry. “Our strategic relationship<br />
with Magma Global will help to further<br />
facilitate the industry’s move into a new<br />
era of enhanced capabilities, coupled with<br />
reduced costs, in extreme subsea operations”,<br />
commented James Simmonite, Energy<br />
director at Victrex.<br />
“The Oil & Gas <strong>mar</strong>ket remains challenging,<br />
but the application of m-pipe ® in areas<br />
where it can deliver cost savings for operators,<br />
through simpler design, easier deployment<br />
and in whole life costs, means it<br />
